Friday looks set to be a dramatic day in the transfer market as two huge deals come to a head. (It’s also the first day of the Premier League season, but that seems like a sideshow at the moment).
Overnight it was reported that Harry Kane has agreed personal terms to join Bayern Munich. That came after yesterday’s developments, in which a deal between the clubs was apparently agreed. It is important to understand, however, that the transfer between the clubs has not yet been completed. Kane is due to fly to Germany today.
Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo, Brighton’s defensive midfielder, is the subject of a tug-of-war between Liverpool and Chelsea. All summer it has looked like the London club were front-runners for his signature, but yesterday Telegraph Sport broke the news that Liverpool had outbid Chelsea. Overnight, an agreement was reached between Liverpool and Brighton, for a fee of about £110 million, which would be a new British transfer record.
However, as with Kane, a final deal is yet to be signed and it is widely known that Caicedo wants to join Chelsea.
Stay with us this morning for the latest news from both deals, plus the rest of the goings on from the transfer market.
